Publishers of the Month
Grove Press
As "The Little Giant of Publishing," Grove Press is responsible for publishing the works of such luminaries as Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, William S. Burroughs, and Henry Miller, to name a few. In it’s heyday, Grove achieved both respect and notoriety for it’s willingness to publish works considered highly subversive for the era. Black Cat, Venus and Evergreen were all imprints of this publishing house; they are admired for their design aesthetics as well as their content. Like The Modern Library, these books are addicting—beware you may become hooked!
